pinhole.

i'm not going to lie, sometimes i feel like life is unnecessarily tumultuous.

but i'm always proven wrong.

san diego seems to have change that is always whistling through the air. nothing here ever seems stable, and it's a fact that now i am starting to recognize, i need to run from.

at least for now.

my life has been nothing but unstable for the past ... forever. which i have embraced and played with. but i am beginning to think that this is the time to stay for a while. to learn how to breathe deeply and hold hands. because the relationships that i have formed here end too quickly for my heart to bare, and this next goodbye is one that has hit me the hardest in quite a while.

but with these goodbyes comes an end to an era. i know in my heart it is time for me to move from this spot. now comes the expected lesson in patience. because if i do hear the call as i think i do, now comes the wait on the follow through.

it's hard for me to describe exactly what place i am at my life right now, or exactly what i am feeling. i think that is why i find myself expressing my thoughts through tiny poems and outbursts of emotion. i keep getting the excited feeling that something huge is about to come my way, and that i will fit somewhere. for once. i'm just working on the peace and patience that i feel the need to have while i wait.

so much of these past couple of years has been focused on change and constant redefinition of myself that i have to wonder why this time it is so much harder, why it's harder for me to take. but i think i thought that this was it for a while. i think i thought that the stability and me that was brought out with that one, that was going to get me through. but i have to realize that this time, i'm on my own. that going alone into the universe will make me ... me. and that's what i need to be focused on at this point.

so here's to the next big step in the universe. a few weeks and i think i'll head north. with nothing but a little in the bank to back me this time. and a few phone numbers i can call with precious faces behind them.

that's all for now.

the only thing that's more scary than going into the beyond, is coming back. same body, different mind.

i think what i'm realizing is that i focused for so long on community, on others, which is good+beautiful.. but i then forget to focus on what's best for me/what i should be doing/etc. and i think it's a difficult thing to learn+think of again.

life is strange as it's all about balances.. balancing thinking of myself vs. others, etc.

love you.
